<p>i’m with you courtney 
so excited!</p>
<p>I hope we win too, but the soccer team is praying that we don’t win because I’m their sweeper and we play our biggest rivals for soccer on Tuesday. Ahh…conflicting athletics = major crisis. I’m not a huge fan of seeing the movies on premier nights because I hate it when people sing along to the HP tune during the movie, so I’ll probably wait a couple days anyways.</p>
<p>less than a month of waiting!!!</p>
<p>Oh Michelle, you are just too perfect.</p>
<p>29 days…</p>
<p>and the wait…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>… continues</p>
<p>:-/</p>
<p>Ugh, tell me about it. I could REALLY use a time machine right about now…</p>
<p>my middle name is stanford. you think that’ll win over the admission officers? haha kidding ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Seriously?! That’s pretty awesome haha.</p>
<p>It’ll be an article in some education edition of the NYT next year: a sudden epidemic of people changing their names in an effort to get into college.</p>
<p>“Please admit me!” cries John Hopkins, age 17… his best friend, Leland Rice Jr., is split between two schools.</p>
<p>well i’ve had that as my middle name ever since i was born</p>
<p>Dang I wish you could like post on CC.</p>
<p>Wilfran imaging a “1 person likes this” beneath your post. You’ve made me laugh so much. :)</p>
<p>^^ I didn’t think you’d changed your middle name- I’m just joking about how other people might take inspiration from your name next admissions cycle.</p>
<p>^Why thank you :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Unfortunately for our poor friend John, he will most likely be rejected on account of the school’s name being Johns Hopkins. ;)</p>
<p>I know that- but ‘Johns’ sounds too desperate. I’d rather make it ‘John’ to emphasize that these used to be normal, non-college names.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hahaha. Point taken. :)</p>
<p>Haha!! I can actually imagine people changing their names to get into college though … -__-</p>
<p>Or, at least desperate parents doing everything possible. </p>
<p>wulfran – you’re awesome! I haven’t laughed so much in days :D</p>
<p>courtneyenpointe – I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE SOOO MUCH!!! :D:D:D</p>
<p>
I wouldn’t be too surprised if I saw it happen.
Me too. It’s probably going to be a while before I watch it though, because it’ll probably be sold out for some time</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I’ve come back to CC because I know it’s application time, which means that a lot of you have been messaging me questions. I just thought I would come back and help you guys because I know exactly what you guys are going through. If you guys have more time than you know what to do with, please go read through:</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/800082-stanford-2014-sceaers.html?highlight=2014+official[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/800082-stanford-2014-sceaers.html?highlight=2014+official</a></p>
<p>It gets interesting around page 100 or so. Just saying hi you guys! I guess most of you don’t know who I am, but here’s a little background:</p>
<p>I applied SCEA last year to Stanford, only to be rejected. I got a little concerned, a little being 29 extra applications to other schools. I was accepted to 28 of them and waitlisted at Duke. I enrolled at Princeton, only to be accepted off the waitlist in May for Duke. I am currently attending Duke, so if you have any questions about anything, I’ve been through it all!</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you I’ll be checking in periodically. I can’t promise too much though, college definitely knows how to keep me busy :)</p>
<p>to Anonymous93, I just saw your profile the other day while I was goofing off during my english class. I literally had my whole class looking at your stats and the astonishing fact that you applied to 29 SCHOOOLSSSS. (at my school 13 is a substantial amount) Everyone thought you were a fake/made up account just posting that to make people feel bad. </p>
<p>I have a question: Why Duke over Princeton/the other good schools you were accepted to?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That sounds pretty sad, but like Harambee, I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw it happening, given that acceptance rates are most likely going to continue falling…</p>
<p>Anonumous93- hello! I have to say, though, your story is not exactly reassuring…</p>
